Screaming Yellow Zonkers. 3D Doritos. Choco Tacos.

Well, Reddit is IPOing right now, so if it goes well, maybe he'll bring it back.
EDIT: There's also some guy I remember NPR's Planet Money doing a thing on who brought back Hydrox (the cookie that Oreo was a clone of). The trademark wasn't being defended and the product was abandoned, and it looks like he's still in business. So even if the original manufacturer isn't interested, given capital and determination, it is possible to resurrect products.
Choco Tacos broke my heart. Tacos with tacos for desert was a great joy in life that I have been robbed of.

This site says that a take on it is coming back this summer:

"A version of" does not inspire confidence in me. I like Salt & Straw, it's good ice cream. The Choco Taco was not good ice cream. It was a stale sort-of-waffle-cone shell, acceptable vanilla ice cream with fudge swirl, dipped in cheap chocolate with chopped peanuts. And they were perfect. This new thing will probably cost eight dollars and taste great but it will not fill the nostalgic space or my freezer.
3D Doritos were great
